effect of preoperative exercise on cardiorespiratory Function and recovery after surgery a systematic review
World Journal of Surgery, 2013Co-Authors: Daniel P Lemanu, Primal P Singh, Andrew D Maccormick, Bruce Arroll, Andrew G HillAbstract:Background This systematic review aims to investigate the extent to which preoperative conditioning (PREHAB) improves Physiologic Function and whether it correlates with improved recovery after major surgery.

the effect of age on the sinusoidal harmonic acceleration test pseudorandom rotation test velocity step test caloric test and vestibular evoked myogenic potential test
Ear and Hearing, 2010Co-Authors: Leen Maes, Ingeborg Dhooge, Wendy Dhaenens, Annelies Bockstael, Hannah Keppler, Birgit Philips, Freya Swinnen, Bart VinckAbstract:Objectives:Age-related anatomical and morphologic vestibular deterioration has already been elaborated. Demonstrating a corresponding degradation in Physiologic Function, however, entails a much higher challenge. The objective of this study was to investigate age-related changes using rotational tes

melanocortin 1 receptor variants Functional role and pigmentary associations
Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2011Co-Authors: Clio Dessinioti, Andreas Katsambas, Christina Antoniou, Alexandros J. StratigosAbstract:The significance of human cutaneous pigmentation lies in its protective role against sun-induced DNA damage and photocarcinogenesis. Fair skin and red hair are characterized by a low eumelanin to pheomelanin ratio, and have been associated with increased risk of skin cancer. Cutaneous pigmentation is a complex genetic trait, with more than 120 genes involved in its regulation, among which the melanocortin 1 receptor gene (MC1R) plays a key role. Although a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified in pigmentation genes, very few SNPs have been examined in relation to human pigmentary phenotypes and skin cancer risk. Recent GWAS have identified new candidate determinants of pigmentation traits, but MC1R remains the best characterized genetic determinant of human skin and hair pigmentation as well as the more firmly validated low-penetrance skin cancer susceptibility gene. In this review, we will address how the melanocortin system regulates pigmentation, the effect of MC1R variants on the Physiologic Function of the MC1 receptor, and how specific MC1R variants are associated with distinct human pigmentation phenotypes.

surgery for vertigo in the nonserviceable hearing ear transmastoid labyrinthectomy or translabyrinthine vestibular nerve section
Laryngoscope, 1993Co-Authors: Alan W Langman, Roger C LindemanAbstract:Two of the surgical options that exist for the treatment of disabling vertigo arising from an ear with nonserviceable hearing are a transmastoid labyrinthectomy (TL) and a translabyrinthine vestibular nerve section (TLVNS). The major difference between the two operations is a section of the vestibular nerves with the TLVNS which removes all preganglionic vestibular tissue from the diseased inner ear. It has been inferred that a TLVNS should be the procedure of choice if hearing is not to be spared, because a TL results in an incomplete removal of preganglionic vestibular tissue, and that this remaining tissue might have continued or recurrent Physiologic Function resulting in further vertigo
